Yacoubian and Saliba say they will vote for Azour
MPs Paula Yacoubian and Najat Aoun Saliba of the Change parliamentary bloc on Tuesday announced that they will vote for ex-minister Jihad Azour in Wednesday’s presidential election session.
“Political realism obliges us to take the best decision and a dream president does not exist until today, that’s why we have decided to declare our support for Jihad Azour and we will hold him accountable should he be elected,” Yacoubian said at a press conference.
Saliba for her part said: “We are endorsing Azour’s nomination because he believes in the principle of the state and is capable of returning Lebanon to the Arab fold and opening cooperation prospects with the international community.”

Reason prevails knowing number of votes is important! This is being politically smart in showing opposition to occupation as most important and critical step in liberating Lebanon from the Basij. A prerequisite to reforms. None of the other objectives are feasible or possible if we remain under Iranian occupation via its Foreign Legion, Hizbollah, and the many Useful idiots or more accurately traitors.
